After the heartfelt storytelling of “Reminisce” and the adventurous spirit of “Backpacking,” released as individual singles, acclaimed artist Ranzel X Kendrick is back with a brilliant new release—Texas Time Warp, a five-track EP that reaffirms his place as one of the most authentic voices in modern Americana. Seamlessly blending Texas roots, blues, alt-indie rock, country, and jazz, Kendrick continues to carve out a lane entirely his own—rich in storytelling, musical craft, and emotional resonance.
From the first few bars of the opening track “Ten Speed Blues,” listeners are welcomed with Kendrick’s signature blend of bluesy grit and Americana soul. It’s a track that rides on dusty roads and sun-faded memories, effortlessly capturing the push and pull of freedom and nostalgia. With intricate guitar work and a rhythm that moves like a winding country road, it’s a perfect start to this sonic journey.
Next comes the fan-favorite “Backpacking,” a track we’ve already praised for its relaxing, road-tripping vibe and compelling harmonica lines. It’s a celebration of life’s simpler pleasures—fresh air, open skies, and the thrill of wandering. Kendrick’s warm voice and laid-back cadence feel like an invitation to unplug and breathe deeply.

It’s the kind of song that lingers in your chest long after the last note fades.
“Lighthearted Happy & High” lifts the mood with a breezy and organic groove, wrapped in beautiful harmonica and violin lines. The dynamic guitar work brings a free-spirited energy to the track, perfectly complementing the reflective lyrics. It’s a song that feels like a sunny afternoon spent in good company—carefree and full of light.
